Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning device technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for a circular knitting syringe. Background Technology

[0002] The cylinder of a circular knitting machine is a cylindrical metal tube that serves as the knitting element. Its surface has hundreds of needle grooves evenly distributed for mounting the knitting needles. During production, the cylinder retains metal shavings, cutting fluid, and oil residue generated during turning, grinding, and other processing. To prevent these contaminants from adhering to the knitting needles, affecting their movement, and causing instability in the knitting process, thus reducing fabric quality and yield, the cylinder is cleaned after processing. However, current cleaning methods are all manual, which is slow, labor-intensive, and difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. Furthermore, differences in cleaning intensity and methods among different workers can lead to inconsistent cleaning results for the same batch of cylinders, affecting product quality stability.

[0044] Reference Figures 1-6 A cleaning device for a circular syringe includes a cleaning box 1 with a cleaning chamber 11 extending to the outside. A support base 2 is installed at the bottom of the cleaning box 1, and a support rod 21 is mounted on the support base 2. The support base 2 and the support rod 21 form the load-bearing frame of the device to ensure the installation rigidity of the cleaning box 1 and its internal components and to avoid cleaning deviations or loosening of components due to vibration. A rotating support component 22 is provided on the support rod 21. The rotating support component 22 includes a support 221 with a cavity and a support rod 222 installed thereon. A support seat 223 is sleeved on the support rod 222, and a first push rod component 224 is installed on the support seat 223. When the box door 3 is at a certain opening and closing angle, the rotating support component 22 can drive the first push rod component 224 to rotate, thereby making the opening and closing path of the box door 3 smoother.

[0045] A door 3 is hinged to one side of the cleaning box 1. The piston end of the first push rod component 224 is hinged to the door 3. By rotating the bearing component 22 and cooperating with the first push rod component 224, the door 3 can be moved closer to or away from the cleaning box 1. The opening range of the door 3 can be controlled by adjusting the piston stroke of the first push rod component 224. When the door 3 is close to the cleaning box 1 and blocks the cleaning chamber 11, an angle is formed between the door 3 and the support seat 2, and the door 3 is in an inclined position, thereby preventing the syringe from falling when it is upright.

[0046] The door 3 is provided with a support drive component 31, which includes a rotating roller 311 for mounting the syringe and a drive motor 312. The rotating roller 311 is rotatably mounted on the side of the door 3 facing the cleaning chamber 11, and the drive motor 312 is mounted on the other side of the door 3 and connected to the rotating roller 311. The drive motor 312 is connected to the rotating roller 311 through a coupling, and the rotation of the drive motor 312 provides power for the rotation of the rotating roller 311. The support drive component 31 is provided with two sets of spaced-apart components, and the spaced-apart distribution can ensure balanced force.

[0047] The cleaning tank 1 is equipped with a second push rod component 4. The piston end of the second push rod component 4 extends through the cleaning tank 1 into the cleaning chamber 11 and is fitted with a liquid reservoir 41. The liquid reservoir 41 is connected to an external water source through a pipe passing through the cleaning tank 1. Two sets of spaced nozzles 42 are connected to the liquid reservoir 41. The nozzles 42 are high-pressure nozzles in the prior art. The nozzles 42 are connected to the liquid reservoir 41. The output end of the nozzles 42 faces the door 3. The second push rod component 4 drives the liquid reservoir 41 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the spray position of the nozzles 42 to adapt to syringes of different heights or depths, avoiding the blind spot problem of traditional fixed nozzles.

[0048] Based on the above structure, the first push rod component 224 is used to rotate the box door 3 until the support seat 2 is in a parallel position. Then, the syringe to be cleaned is placed on the box door 3. Since the box door 3 is equipped with a support drive component 31, when the syringe is on the box door 3, the inner wall of the syringe is hung on the rotating roller component 311. With the cooperation of the first push rod component 224, the box door 3 drives the syringe to move towards the end face of the cleaning box 1, thereby placing the syringe in the cleaning chamber 11. When the rotating roller component 311 is driven by the motor... When rotating with the cooperation of 312, the rotating roller 311 drives the syringe to rotate synchronously, and the cleaning chamber 11 has a liquid reservoir 41 connected to the second push rod component 4. When the syringe rotates, the liquid reservoir 41 sprays the cleaning liquid onto the syringe through the nozzle component 42, thereby completing the cleaning of the syringe. Furthermore, the second push rod component 4 drives the liquid reservoir 41 to move, which can achieve comprehensive cleaning of the syringe and solve the problem of reduced efficiency caused by manual cleaning of existing syringes.

[0049] Both the first push rod component 224 and the second push rod component 4 mentioned above adopt pneumatic or electric push rods in the prior art.

[0050] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The door 3 is also equipped with a rotating component 32. The rotating component 32 guides the syringe when it rotates and forms multi-point support for the syringe to ensure that the syringe maintains a stable central position during the cleaning process and avoids tilting or shaking. The rotating component 32 includes two sets of spaced bearing seats 321. A shaft 322 is connected between the two sets of bearing seats 321. A roller 3221 is rotatably mounted on the shaft 322. When the syringe rotates with the cooperation of the rotating roller 311, the roller 3221 will rotate synchronously with the cooperation of the syringe, thereby reducing the friction of the syringe during rotation. The syringe is sleeved on multiple rollers 3221. The circumferentially distributed rollers 3221 form a ring support structure to accommodate syringes of different diameters and prevent deformation or slippage. In addition, the bearing seats 321 can partially limit the syringe and prevent the syringe from falling.

[0051] The rotating parts 32 are arranged in several circles around the box door 3. When the syringe is sleeved on the roller 3221, the rest of the syringe is located on several rollers 3221. The spacing of the multiple rollers 3221 disperses the weight of the syringe, reduces single-point pressure, prevents vibration or deviation, and ensures balance and stability during smooth rotation.

[0052] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The cleaning chamber 1 is also equipped with an air blowing component 5, which includes a third push rod component 51. The third push rod component 51 is located on one side of the second push rod component 4. The third push rod component 51 is a pneumatic push rod, electric push rod, or hydraulic push rod in the prior art. The piston end of the third push rod component 51 passes through the cleaning chamber 1 and is located in the cleaning chamber 11. The piston end of the third push rod component 51 is connected to a pneumatic spray gun 52. The pneumatic spray gun 52 is connected to an external air pump through a pipeline passing through the cleaning chamber 1. The external air pump provides high-pressure airflow to the pneumatic spray gun 52. After cleaning, the pneumatic spray gun 52 sprays high-pressure airflow to quickly dry the surface of the syringe, avoiding residual liquid from causing rust or contamination. The third push rod component 51 pushes the spray gun into the cleaning chamber 11 and adjusts the spray angle according to the position of the syringe to cover the blind area, thereby ensuring drying after cleaning and removing some residual impurity particles on the syringe.

[0053] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 1-3 The support base 2 is also equipped with a liquid collection tank 6, which is located below the cleaning tank 1. An overflow channel 111 is provided in the cleaning chamber 11, which runs through the cleaning tank 1. The liquid collection tank 6 is connected to the interior of the cleaning tank 1 through the overflow channel 111. An inclined end 112 is also provided in the cleaning chamber 11. The lowest end of the inclined end 112 is located on the side facing the overflow channel 111. The inclined end 112 allows the liquid to flow naturally to the overflow channel 111, avoiding water accumulation at the bottom of the chamber. The cleaning wastewater flows into the liquid collection tank 6 through the overflow channel 111, which is convenient for centralized treatment or recycling and meets environmental protection requirements.

[0054] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 1-3 The piston end of the first push rod component 224 is hinged with a connecting part 2241, which is connected to the box door 3. Two sets of rotating bearing components 22 are provided and distributed at intervals on the bearing rod 21. The hinge design allows the box door 3 to rotate smoothly under the drive of the push rod, avoiding jamming or impact, and opening and closing the box door 3 smoothly. In addition, the two sets of rotating bearing components 22 enhance the bearing capacity and ensure the stability of the box door 3 when loading large syringes.

[0055] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 A sieve plate 113 is movably installed on the overflow trough 111. The sieve plate 113 has several sieve holes 1131, which are evenly distributed on the sieve plate 113. The sieve holes 1131 intercept and clean large particles such as fibers and metal shavings that fall off, preventing blockage of pipes or damage to the pump body. The detachable design facilitates regular cleaning of the sieve plate 113, extends the service life of the equipment, and avoids local overflow.

[0056] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 1-3 The support base 2 has spaced-apart receiving parts 23 on one side, and the receiving parts 23 have buffer pads 231. The buffer pads 231 are made of rubber. When the door 3 is parallel to the support base 2 with the cooperation of the rotating bearing component 22 and the first push rod component 224, the buffer pads 231 abut against the end face of the door 3. The buffer pads 231 absorb the impact force when the door 3 is closed, reduce noise and protect the structure of the door 3, and reduce direct collision of metal parts, thus extending the service life of the door 3 hinges and push rods.

[0057] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 3 A control console 12 is also provided on one side of the cleaning box 1. The control console 12 is electrically connected to the first push rod component 224, the second push rod component 4, the third push rod component 51 and the drive motor 312. Through the preset program of the control console 12, the opening and closing of the box door 3, the injection of cleaning fluid, the movement of the push rod component, and the start and stop of the pneumatic spray gun are automatically controlled to realize the integrated process of "loading, cleaning, drying and unloading", reduce manual intervention, improve production efficiency and avoid operational errors.
